The Rodney Dangerfield of the angling community, bluefish don’t get no respect. This is a shame, because bluefish fight great, strike hard, and often leap into the air as they attempt to shake the hook free. True, larger fish aren’t the best table fare, but blues less than a few pounds do taste great just as long as you don’t freeze them before cooking. (Much like a mackerel, the meat goes a bit mushy when frozen and this species should always be eaten fresh). Try targeting and battling with some blues along the coast and you won’t regret it; these tips will help you get ’em on the line.
When you do get some blues into your cooler, remember: fillet and eat them that evening, or the next day at the latest. Try it, and you’ll discover that this species deserves just as much respect as other predators we like to target.
